Bed Bug Outbreak Hits Major Las Vegas Strip Hotels

Four prominent hotels affected over five months, with swift action taken to address the infestations.

Bed bug outbreaks have been reported at four major Las Vegas Strip hotels: Encore, the Venetian, the Mirage, and the Excalibur, over the last five months.
The Southern Nevada Health District confirmed the presence of bed bugs following guest complaints and inspections.
Only four rooms across the four hotels were affected, according to the Nevada Resort Association, which described the incidents as "extremely rare and isolated occurrences."
The hotels have taken swift action in response to the outbreaks, including removing affected rooms from service and implementing extensive cleaning and extermination procedures.
Bed bugs can be transported through luggage and clothing, making tourist destinations like Las Vegas particularly vulnerable to infestations.
